Zone B-6 is along the northern California border located in portions of Siskiyou County, West of Yreka. B zones are Blacktail trophy country.

As with many zones in California the natural cycle of wildfire aids the deer habitat creating additional edge cover and young sprouts providing food.Due to the lush nature of vegetation in this area many illegal, outdoor cannabis operations are present on public land. Keep aware of your surroundings. If a garden is discovered, back away quietly and notify authorities.

The terrain is very steep and rugged and vegetation can be extremely dense. As with all of the mountains in the B zone, heavy rainfall over the history of the mountain range has eroded much of his area creating steep mountain ranges.

The vegetation is highly varied throughout Zone B6 ranging from coastal scrub, oak-woodland, hardwood-conifer, and dense conifer forests to some alpine habitats.

With the closure of many logging operations and mills in this area of the state, much of the forest has grown to become dense. Look for areas where recent forest fires have provided edge habitat to attract the deer during summer months.

Zone B-6 contains a mixture of both public and private lands. Remember you must obtain and have in your possession written permission to hunt on private property. Hunter trespass laws are strictly enforced. Public lands within the Zone are administered by the Klamath and Rogue River National Forests.

Wilderness lands have been established within the Klamath National Forest. The Marble Mountains Wilderness Area is accessible by hiking and pack stock. Public use of the wilderness is regulated by permit. Information on wilderness area restrictions and Wilderness Permits may be obtained by contacting the Klamath National Forest.

There are numerous designated campgrounds within Zone B-6. The facilities available at these campgrounds vary from primitive campsites to campsites with running water and showers. Most campgrounds are clearly marked on USFS and BLM maps. Camping outside of designated campgrounds is usually permitted on BLM and USFS lands. However, during fire season special regulations may apply and it will be necessary to obtain a fire permit from the USFS or BLM.
